# Schools in Dudley

96 schools with published admissions figures

"1st preferences per place" is how many families named a school first, for each place it offered, in the newest year held. It describes demand. It is not a pass rate and it does not say whether a child would be offered a place. A dash means the figure is not held.

## How the 2026 round went

Counts families, not schools. The table below cannot be added up into these figures, because a child naming three schools appears in three of its rows.

### Primary

For September 2026, 92.0% of families applying for a primary place here were offered their first choice, and 98.2% were offered one of the three schools they named.

That is 3.7 points higher than in 2016, when it was 88.3%.

The council's primary schools between them had 3,812 places for 3,314 applications. That is a total for the whole council and says nothing about any one school in it.


### Secondary

For September 2026, 87.1% of families applying for a secondary place here were offered their first choice, and 97.4% were offered one of the three schools they named.

That is 2.3 points higher than in 2016, when it was 84.8%.

The council's secondary schools between them had 3,620 places for 3,570 applications. That is a total for the whole council and says nothing about any one school in it.


## If a family is refused a place

In 2026, families in Dudley lodged 271 appeals about a school place.

168 of them were heard by a panel and 14 succeeded, which is about 8 in every 100 heard.

The other 103 did not reach a panel. Most appeals that do not are withdrawn because a place comes up first.

This is a record of decisions already made. A panel hears one case at a time and decides it on what that family sets out, so these figures do not indicate what would happen in any particular appeal.

Source: Department for Education, admission appeals in England, reporting year 2026. Counts every school in this council area. The share that succeeded is taken over appeals heard by a panel, not over appeals lodged.

## Schools here running specialist SEN provision

10 of this council's published schools run a SEN unit or a resourced provision: teaching for children with special educational needs, on the same site as the rest of the school.

| School | Phase | What it runs |
|---|---|---|
| [Caslon Primary Community School, Halesowen](/school/103801/caslon-primary-community-school) | primary | Resourced provision |
| [Gig Mill Primary School, Stourbridge](/school/150457/gig-mill-primary-school) | primary | SEN unit |
| [Hawbush Primary School, Brierley Hill](/school/150729/hawbush-primary-school) | primary | Resourced provision |
| [Hob Green Primary School, Stourbridge](/school/143196/hob-green-primary-school) | primary | SEN unit and resourced provision |
| [Jesson's Church of England Primary School, Dudley](/school/150955/jesson-s-church-of-england-primary-school) | primary | SEN unit |
| [Priory Primary School, Dudley](/school/145305/priory-primary-school) | primary | SEN unit |
| [Rufford Primary School, Stourbridge](/school/148685/rufford-primary-school) | primary | SEN unit |
| [The Bromley-Pensnett Primary School, Brierley Hill](/school/141979/the-bromley-pensnett-primary-school) | primary | SEN unit |
| [Woodside Primary School and Nursery, Dudley](/school/143821/woodside-primary-school-and-nursery) | primary | SEN unit |
| [The Crestwood School, Dudley](/school/141325/the-crestwood-school) | secondary | SEN unit and resourced provision |

This says a provision exists and nothing more. Neither how many children it takes nor which kinds of need it is set up for is published for a mainstream school, and it is not a statement about how well any school supports children with SEN. Ask the school or the council. Source: Department for Education, special educational needs in England.
